Hayle Coven Novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

#I asked you to survive in the wild, but you're raising a cat while doing livestreams?# #I thought you were here just to make up the numbers, but you're taking the entire internet by storm?# Song Qingyou transmigrated over a dozen times for the sake of survival before she finally returned to her original world. She wanted to laze around and do nothing, but she was forced to fend for herself in the wilderness due to her unfortunate circumstances. However, after finding a cat, her life turned out to be completely different from the rest. Other people started the game with straight knives and lighters... But she started with a cat. Other people exhausted themselves from climbing trees to harvest fruits... But she barbecued fish for her cat. Other people worked hard to build their own shelters... But she made a nest for her cat. *** Everyone waited for nature to teach Song Qingyou a lesson on how to behave like a normal person, but she was going through the survival game as if she was on vacation. She went viral on the internet. *** Song Qingyou thought her cat was just a little smarter than ordinary cats, but it turned into a human one day... Later, Song Qingyou was photographed going out with the CEO of Jiang Group. Song Qingyou clarified things during a livestream, "It's a coincidence. We're not dating each other." Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Zhihan, who had transformed into a human again, walked past the camera. That, too, went viral. Song Qingyou quickly started to explain herself. "We're ordinary friends. We're not living together." Just as she finished saying that, Jiang Zhihan appeared again in a bathrobe and said, "We're out of shower gel. Don't forget to buy the same one you did last time." Song Qingyou subconsciously answered, "Okay." People who were watching the livestream fell silent. #You certainly aren't dating each other. You're practically married, aren't you?!"
